Kazakhstan’s GDP grew by 6.5% in 2025, according to
preliminary data released by the Bureau of National Statistics. The main
contributors to economic growth were industry, transport, construction, and
trade. The transport sector recorded the strongest performance, with growth
reaching around 20.5% over the year. This was driven
primarily by increased volumes of road and rail freight, the Bureau noted. As a
result, demand also rose for airport services, warehouse and storage
facilities, as well as refrigerated cargo and grain storage. Last year,
Kazakhstan actively implemented infrastructure and social projects, boosting
the construction sector, where output increased by around 16%. Meanwhile, the
industrial production index stood at 7.4% for the year. The manufacturing
sector demonstrated steady growth of 6.4%, with notable increases in
engineering, chemical production, and oil refining. Overall, the pace of
economic development reflects the sustained performance of key sectors.
Kazakhstan is the only country in Central Asia to rank among the world’s 50
largest economies and is also among the top five countries in terms of average
annual real GDP growth.
